    MONTHS OF ITALIAN CULTURE TO BE HELD IN YEREVAN

    Hasmik Poghosian, RA Culture and Youth Affairs Minister, and Marko
    Clemente, Italian Ambassador to Armenia, informed at yesterday's joint
    press conference that they have decided to hold a number of cultural
    arrangements in Yerevan in November, December and January. Hasmik
    Poghosian stated in her speech that on April 13, 2003, RA and Italian
    governments signed an agreement for cooperation in the cultural,
    educational, scientific and technical spheres. As a result of close
    relations between our countries, the Armenian artists have frequently
    visited Italy and the Italian men of art arrived in Armenia. "This
    year, we have specified the our plans for cooperation. In August, we
    held "Archeology and Renovation of Monuments" seminar in Armenia," We
    will complete the year by implementing the program elaborated by Mr.
    Clemente and financed by the Government of Italy," Mrs. Poghosian
    stated.

    In his turn, Mr. Clemente emphasized the importance of the
    Armenian-Italian multi lateral cooperation and thanked the mass media
    for highlighting the events within the framework of the cultural
    programs. "The culture is a bridge that unites two peoples, that have
    thousand years of history," he said. Mr. Ambassador informed that the
    months of Italian culture will begin in the performance of the
    contemporary dance by Francesca Silva's dance group at Alexander
    Spendiarian Opera and Ballet Theatre. The retrospective session of
    Italian cinema will be held in one of Yerevan's cinemas. It is
    envisaged that in December, two young Italian singers will perform in
    two concerts. All the arrangements in the cultural program are for
    free. "This is our concept. We want to bring the art to the people
    that have no sources to freely enjoy the miracle of art. Thanks to
    this program, we will contribute to the cultural development and to
    education of the next generations," Mr. Ambassador
    said. Mrs. Poghosian congratulated the journalists with the "Day of
    the Armenian Press" at the end of the press conference.
